Autoracing Betting Lines

08/08/2010 - Lexington, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dario Franchitti held off a furious late-race charge from Will Power to win Sunday's Honda Indy 200 IZOD IndyCar Series race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

Franchitti capitalized on pit strategy, as he beat Power out of the pits twice to maintain his lead. Power chased down Franchitti in the closing laps, but the defending series champion nipped him at the finish line by a half-second.

It was Franchitti's second victory of the season and the 15th of his IndyCar career. He won the Indianapolis 500 in May.

Power's second-place finish allowed him to clinch the series' first road/street course championship. He now holds a 41-point lead over Franchitti in the overall rankings.

Helio Castroneves finished third, while Alex Tagliani, who led the most laps with 30, and Scott Dixon, the winner at Edmonton two weeks ago, completed the top-five.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
